An Off-Season Guide to Nantucket, MA

By |2021-05-05T19:29:28+00:00August 22nd, 2016||

Though I'm now embarrassed to admit it, our invitation to Nantucket felt confusing. The only preconception I had of the island were thanks to J. Crew magazines—and therefore the only mental pictures I could conjure up were of model types wearing "Nantucket red" (aka pink) polo shirts with popped collars on fancy boats. ...

The Bellfire Farm Tipi Hideaway in Roxbury, NY

  Every summer, some 75,000 people visit the tiny hamlet of Roxbury, New York. You'd never know it though; its Main Street is a short half mile long, and only a handful of restaurants and shops are consistently open. But no matter—visitors aren't flocking to Roxbury for a bustling Main Street. Instead, Roxbury offers a quiet haven to ...

The Brampton in the Adirondack Mountains

By |2021-01-06T15:13:54+00:00June 27th, 2016||

Nestled alongside the Hudson River at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains, The Brampton is a classic lodge that balances rural isolation with contemporary comfort. A recent invite for a weekend in the woods had me headed north via motorcycle to take advantage of roads a far cry from NYC’s traffic-clogged pavement. Being located ...

Built by owner David Pivnick, the Scandinavian Inspired Chalet is located in the Shawangunk Mountains just two hours from NYC.
